The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 15 Sudden accident

Is he a very kind person? Looking at Kaeya's leaving back, Ruo Jin always felt that Kaeya would not be as simple as Bennett said. His intuition told him that Kaeya must be hiding an unknown secret, a secret that probably no one in the Knights of Favonius had ever known.

Of course, Ruo Jin did not intend to investigate what secret Kaeya was hiding. Everyone has his own secrets. As long as Kaeya did not disturb him and the people around him, he had no desire to explore Kaeya's secrets. At most, he would just ask the people around him not to have too much contact with Kaeya.

The question was how should he tell Bennett? He couldn't just tell Bennett what he was thinking. Looking at Bennett who was still looking for a hidden treasure chest, Ruo Jin had a headache.

If he spoke too directly to Bennett, that silly boy might ask Kaia directly what his secret was. It would not be a good thing for Bennett to be noticed by Kaia then.

Forget it, I'd better not tell this silly boy. This silly boy doesn't have much interaction with Kaia in normal times, so there shouldn't be any problem. After thinking for a while, Ruo Jin gave up. It's better for this silly boy Bennett not to know so much.

The dull mechanical sound was particularly clear in the quiet ruins. Ruo Jin's pupils shrank and he turned to look at Bennett who was looking for a treasure chest. Bennett was looking at the half-broken thing that looked like a mechanical joystick in his hand with a confused look on his face.

For a moment, silence became the Mond Bridge tonight. Bennett hesitated for a moment, took the half of the joystick that he had broken off and reinserted it into the mechanism. He tried to fool the mechanism in this way.

Ruojin's eyes twitched. Okay, he was right. With Bennett's silly look, he might even count money for others if he was sold out. Sensing the fire element surging at the bottom of the ruins, Ruojin didn't bother to complain and just yelled at Bennett.

"What are you standing there for? Run."

After Ruo Jin shouted, Bennett realized that he might have triggered some mechanism. Recalling the tragic situation when he was attacked by the mechanism in the ruins in the past, he hurriedly followed Ruo Jin to run outside. If his luck had not improved when he lost consciousness over the years, he would probably have died in the unknown ruins long ago.

I don't know if it was because he was too panicked or because bad luck started again, but Bennett didn't pay attention and fell down. Ruo Jin, who had already run out of the ruins, saw Bennett fall down. He cursed in his heart and, under his control, the rock element quickly condensed under Bennett's lower abdomen close to the ground.

Along with Bennett's scream, a roar several times louder than the explosion produced by the previous relic machine resounded throughout the cave. Flames instantly engulfed the relic, and the blazing fire made Ruo Jin's face red.

All the leisurely little animals around the cave were scared away. Several grass slimes hiding in the ground also quietly moved away from this land. The wind crystal butterflies that were sensitive to the environment directly triggered a diffusion reaction and turned into sparks and dissipated in the air.

"Bennett, are you okay?"

Looking at Bennett drawing a shining red arc in the air with sparks, Ruo Jin didn't know how to explain to Bennett for a moment.

Just now he wanted to go back and help Bennett but it was too late. He had no choice but to modify the move he used to trip up the treasure thieves in Liyue and use it on Bennett.

His original idea was to control the rock element to condense under Bennett's lower abdomen and then suddenly push out Bennett. However, when Bennett stood up, he subconsciously turned over and aimed his butt at the rock element he had condensed.

In the past, Ruo Jin always used rock elements to create several protrusions on the ground to trip up the fleeing treasure-hunting group. Today was the first time he used this trick to save people, and he had little experience, so the force seemed a bit too great. Bennett's butt was bounced and fell to the ground again, causing direct secondary trauma.

"Ouch, ouch, it hurts so much, Brother Ruojin, you were the one who sent me flying just now, thank you so much."

Bennett held his butt and stood up from the ground with difficulty. He wanted to stand up straight to thank Ruojin, but his muscles were tense and his injured butt was pulled directly, causing Bennett to grit his teeth in pain. "Ahem, you're welcome."

Seeing that Bennett's butt was obviously swollen and his back had some slight burns, Ruo Jin took out the ointment he bought from Bai Zhu and threw it to Bennett.

"Apply this ointment to the injured area. It can heal any wound on your body."

Even though Bai Zhu, the smiling guy, has the same secrets as Kaeya, his medical skills are really good. Ruo Jin often exchanged some of the precious ointments in his hands with medicinal materials from other countries outside Liyue.

But Keqing knew that Ruojin used the Ke family's channels to do such things, so she gave Ruojin a lecture and took away most of the ointment. Then, Keqing's strength soared during that period of time. Later, Ruojin heard from the servants of the Ke family that every time Keqing injured her muscles during sword practice, she would apply some ointment from somewhere, and she would return to normal the next day.

"Bennett, Mr. Ruojin, the explosion just now was not caused by a little girl in red clothes and a red hat, right?"

"Um, um, am I here at a bad time? Um, how about you guys continue?"

Seeing Bennett with his upper body naked and a look of pain on his face, and Ruo Jin doing something behind Bennett, Kaeya suddenly felt that he should have been thrown to Liyue in the first place. Mondstadt was too free.

"No no no, Captain Kaia, you're here just in time."

"I, I don't have this hobby."

Kaiya took a few steps back, shaking his head wildly. If he had known he would see something like this, he would never come back even if he was beaten to death.

"What are you talking about? Let's use some ice element to cool this ointment. This way it will be more effective."

Ruojin looked at Kaeya strangely, who was talking about something, and threw the ointment in his hand directly to Kaeya. He was just worrying about the lack of ice element, but he didn't expect that the ice element would be delivered to his door so soon. Realizing that he had misunderstood, Kaeya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was okay.

After applying ointment on Bennett's back, Kaia returned and looked at the burning ruins in front of him. His heart was burned as well as the ruins. He could still suppress the explosion of the battle with the identity of the cavalry captain, but this explosion would definitely be reported by the other Knights of Favonius.

By then, Captain Jean will definitely find out that Klee is not in the confinement room, and the fact that he released Klee without permission will be exposed. Not to mention this month's salary, even next month's salary may be deducted.

"It's over. It's completely over. No, I have to find a way to get some Mora. The money I spent on drinking last time is still on the account. If I don't pay it back next time, that guy will definitely not make me a drink."

Kaeya muttered to himself in a low voice. He remembered that his Knights of Favonius had discovered the Fatui's transport convoy when they were reporting on patrol just now. This seemed to be a good way to make money. He silently said sorry to the Fatui in his heart. After Ruojin explained what had just happened, Kaeya was ready to leave to get some Mora from the Fatui.

As for today's incident, Kaiya felt that he just needed to report it truthfully. Captain Bennett's Luck Harp knew about it and probably wouldn't care too much about it. Besides, he had just taken a rough look at the ruins and they were not important, so there was no big problem.
